With the great championship battle between 'Willard and Dempsey only five days away, Toledo is buzzing with fight talk. The lobbies of the hotels are packed day and night with visitors from all over the country, all here to see the fight, and all violently partisan, i have never seen a match in which the people interested in sport are so positively convinced that the man they favor will win and that the other fellow hasn't a chance on earth. and they seen Dempsey box with Big Bill Tate and Jamaica Kid and Jock Malone and Dempsey looked like he was in the old pink though he held back his punches for the fear of injuring his sparring partners. I could also say that the fans seen Willard monkeying around in the ring with Hempel and Monahan, etc. Willard Declared He Abandoned Road Work Because It Hurt Him his knees and allowed his sparring partners to sock him in the dinner pail.

After said partners bad got through socking him the situation on this front remained unchanged. A few days ago it seemed that Dmpsey'a followers were complacently Dempsey a winner within six rounds, and even Willard's admirers spoke softly and avoided arguments. But "Willard, by his Saturday and Sunday performances in the ring under the maples at the Casino, has shaken some Dempsey enthusiasts and gained a lot of new followers who will stand on any street corner and- proclaim to the world that the giant is invincible and never can be beaten by a smaller man. I will say that "Willard's improvement In condition during the past week is startling. It is a vindication of his promise to be at the top of his fighting form on July 4th, no matter how he has worked and no matter how he has looked during the first few weeks of his training.

I would be Just as much surprised as any follower of the sport if I hadn't purely by accident stumbled upon the solution. Willard Works on the Jess Willard is doing road work. He is doing it at night, when the air is cooler and when the eyes of the curious are not annoying. Jess came out two weeks ago with a statement that he didn't believe in road work for a man as big and heavy ns ho is. and ho stopped his morning jogs and ppi una.

Apparemiy lie Mil mi 1 uoiiig any work except the linlf or tliree- quarters of an hour devoted to bo-ing. Yet he has dropped the extra weight he carried Just at the waist line, and the outline of his face has grown more rugged day by day. The boxing he has gone through has been less strenuous than the boxing he did in Havana, It was hardly enough to account for his rapidly rounding into what looks like real fighting condition. It would not account, either, for his increased speed of both hand and foot, and the fact that he goes stands In his corner at the end without heaving and puffing, as he did weeks ago. Willard lives In a private resi- dence in a secluded part of town.

All is quiet along his street, and he 1 the Sheep at 50 Cents Hoof." Lardner. Bell Syndicate, Inc.) word yesterday that some of you the fighters and not so much about experts is wearing. So I suppose crowd out to the camps yesterday The big fellow dropped his arms to business they wculd see Siveral chances to fatten up these last three lean days. For instance, they could charge 25 cents extra for smiling at you from the -ing or letting you touch them when they passed by you. And it would be 50 cents if they stopped and shook hands with you or wived at you and a dollar even If they called you by your first name, which you would have to furnish them in advance.

Also it looks to me like they could make a big clean-up by selling locks of hair off their chest, suitable for conversion into a ring or small bracelet for the dear one at home. Speaking about the big fellow's condition again, John Ryan, the former horseman, whispered in some of our ears today that he had noticed something that convinced him Jess wasn't in no shape, lie said that when Jess took a drag out of the water bottle between rounds in his workout, he noticed that he couldn't exhale it again. John said this was a very-bad sign, but I figure that maybe the big fellow has got a hollow tooth. The officials have decided to bar the rabbit punch and the kidney punch. The rabbit punch is where a man reaches around and soaks you in the back of tho neck, which is supposed to be the base of a rabbit's brain.

This ruling seems to be aimed at Mr. Willard, as he will be the only one In the ring next Friday that has got a chance to reach the back of anybody's neck. The ruling against the kidney punch is liable to make trouble. Suppose' Dempsey should get hit anywhere below the neck and would claim a foul and their honors. Judges Rlckard and Blddle, should ask him what for and he would tell them he had a floating kidney.

It would hold up the game till the officials found out if there was a doctor in the house.

I Champion Jess Willard is doing road work, he has gone to considerable pains to cover it up. He several times not only admitted that he had quit this training stunt long ago, but took the trouble to explain, as the reason, that it hurt his feet. He declared that a man of his weight would only pound himself up and waste his strength by this form of wind development.

Willard said today: "I am convinced in my case at least I feel better without running on the road. In the past I tried out the plan and came back to quarters so played out that I had no 'pep' for the rest of the day. I know that you can run a small pony all day, but you will kill a big truck horse with the same tricky I feel sure that I can and have' developed all the leg and wind endurance I need with my shadow boxing, gymnasium and other routine work." is so far from the hotel district that few people visit him after dinner time.

Willard, many of whose characteristics were developed during a boyhood spent on an In- dlan reservation, goes it alone. force go into his blows, but he seemed to be getting just what lie wanted a gruelling workout. When it over he was sponged off again and went right into a session of shadow-boxing, looking as fresh as at the start. He was not breathing rny harder than in the first round. There was a strong wind blowing from ver Maumee Bay, and the air was cold.

It must have been as much of a relief to the boxers as to the specta tors. Willard works better cool weather. After tke boxing, AVtllard weighed 243 V4 pound, which has bees him weight for three day pant. Tex O'Rourke says this was exactly Willard's weight on the day he fought Johnson. Jack Dempsey has finished his hard training.

He boxed six rounds Saturday and Sunday, two each with Tate, Jamaica and Jock Malone. He showed a world of speed and even though he was evidently holding back his punches, there were times when he had all three of his sparring partners in distress from a single sharply driven left.

The Detroit Tigers, possessors of seven straight victories, and a club that has proven a stumbling block for the Browns this season, will today open a three-game series against the Burkeviki on the local lot. That Jennings' men have something on the locals is shown by the record.

Of the eight games piaed, the Browns have been able to capture only one. The series opening today should result in a great battle for a first division berth. The men of Jennings are fourth at present, and in order to pass them, the Browns will have to take three straight. If this conies about the standings will be as follows: Browns 30-27, Detroit 29-29. Cobb Xot With Tlgrra.

At present Jennings' aggregation is playing minus the services of Ty Cobb, the star outfielder, who is at his home in Georgia recovering from a carbuncle. During his absence Chick Shorten Is playing center and to date has made a good job of it. Jennings' men come here from Tigerville. where yesterday they took their fourth straight game from the Cleveland Indians. In thO quartet of battles, the Tigers' pitchers yielded only two runs and 17 hits.

The victory gave the locals an even break on the season with the Chicagoans, each club having six verdicts against a like number of defeats. In gaining the win yesterday, our old pal, Grover Lowdermilk, was beaten.

Grover toiled five rounds and in that time he was found for four runs. The other was counted against Davo Danforth. Burke used three mound-men, Gallia, Koob and Sotho'-Ol. Sothoron yielded only one hit and struck out four in the three frames he labored. Burke's men started after Lowder- milk in the first, when Austin was hit.

They come to me and confidentially, whisper the important news that my July 4 op ponent, jess willard. Is showing a real fighting spirit in his training workouts, and that he will face me on the patriotic holiday a savage battler.

They declare that he is a big, easy going fellow, who might now show much animosity and might travel along if he isn't stung; but that if I soak him early in the bout he will be bad business. Well, to those who have an idea "Willard will not be aroused until he is walloped, I want to say here and now that the 80,000 spectators who will be in the Bay View Park arena next Friday will have an early view of a savage champion. Will Carry Klght to Champion. I am going after Jess cold turkey. right off the reel, and just as soon as the gong clangs I mean to show him the old windmill salvo.

I have my own system of battling and I'm not going to change, even though am iignting a gigantic man and a champion as well. If it will do Jess any good to know beforehand that am coming to him. he is welcome to the information. I'll be in there with everything I have and he's going to learn what I have to offer in the very first inning. If I can beat Willard with a punch, so much the better for me.

I know he Isn't going to be 6oft picking. I know he isn't easy to clout and that he can take 'em. But I alBO know that he can hit and that he can be toppled. IMd yoq, ever stop to realize that a 150-pound man can knock down a 1600-pound horse with a punch? And a horse has four legs on which to stand and is not as easy to crack over as a human. So they can't make me believe Jess Is too big to be whacked on the Jaw and spilled.

PITTSBURG, June 30. Tha Cardinals came in this morning from Cincinnati, where yesterday they gained a 14-9 victory, to open a series with the Pirates today. The teams will celebrate the tenth anniversary of the opening of Forbes Field this afternoon. Strangely enough, each team has one player who was a member of the Pirates June 30, 1909. These players are Jack Miller of the Cards, who played second base, and Babe Adams, who pitched and lost the first Forbes Field game to the Chicago Cubs.

The l'irates have been going very poorly since their visit to St. Louis early last week. The Cardinals have played only one game here this sea son, being defeated, 4 to 2, on May 8 by Karl Hamilton. The Cardinals are playing better ball now than on their first visit here. Manager Rickey is anxious to over take the Brooklyns and head the see.

ond division, which seems to be a very hard proposition. The Cards will do some jumping in the next week or so, as they go to Cincinnati on Wednes day, playing there until Saturday, when they board the rattlers for Chicago for the Sunday game, then come here for one game Monday and then going East. In gaining the victory at Cincinnati yesterday, the Cardinals pounded six of Moran's pitchers for a total of 22 hits, including five doubles and a triple. The big frame was the fourth, in which six runs were scored. The pitchers clouted were Eller, Ring, Reuther, Fisher, Bressler and Gerner.

Bill Doak and Bill Sherdel labored for the Cardinals and were found for a dozen safeties.

Misses Hagemeyer and Roever defeated Mrs. W. Stark and Mrs. II. Lewis, 6 1, 0, in the other semi-final.

Well. I have seen the big fellow seven times now, once on the screen, twice at his camp, three times in the hotel and once packed into the'tnneau of a horseless carriage 'and I will have to agree with the most of the other experts that he looks pretty big around the waist. In fact, if everybody that is 36 years old was in the condition that Jess is in you could get a $10,000 20-payment life insurance policy for $8 per annum minus the dividend. A whole lot of fellow experts has criticized the big fellow on account of him not doing road work. Well, the way I look at it is thit when a man is training for a golf match he don't go out every day and practice skinning the cat on a trapeze and I figure that the reason Jess don't get out and practice running is because he don't expect to run next Friday.

As tho big fellow says, every man should ought to know best how to got himself in shape and personally I can testify to that as I have been using my own system of training to write up this fight ever since 1 got to Toledo and I am at a point now where I can write faster and get through quicker than I ever did in my life. Yesterday was the last Sunday for the two matadors to do their tricks for the sheep at 50 cents a head on the hoof and a man couldn't help from feeling sorry for both Jack and Jess to say nothing about the boys that's got the postcird concessions and etc. Out to the camps there is only thres more days of active training left you might say, and that means only three more days for the two boys to try and keep the wolf from the door. But if they had an eye for Jess Expects His Right Uppercut Finish Fight Champion Says He Will Be Ready to Launch Offensive if Jack Does Back-Stepping. By Jess Willard.

(Copyright, 1910. by Bell Syndicate. Inc.) TOLEDO, June 30. Yesterday was a half-holiday for me. I found that my weight was satisfactorily low and my general condition so far advanced that I could with profit to myself ease up a bit.

So I cut out two of my sparring partners, the middleweight flash, Joe Chip, and the light-heavyweight, Bill Scott-I took on my veteran standbys. Jack Hempel and Walter Monahan. Jack has lost a great deal of weight since he began sparring with me in preparation for this fight. Monahan, as usual, gave me a fast workout, I cut -loose with a lot of footwork, and in my real work and in my shadow boxing I practiced staying on top of my man all the time. I did this upon the supposition that it may be necessary for me to do all the forcing, and that the other man may try to make a runaway fight.

Those who have seen-me at work recently in the arena at the Casino may have observed that I almost constantly rush my sparring partners and compel them to stay at close quar ters. I pen them In corners and practice uppercuts. Jabs and full swings on them before they are able to slip away. I only point this out to show that I have a shifting plan of campaign. I will be ready to meet anything that presents itself in the ring on the Fourth of July.

Of course, I will cut loose with my own offensive and set my own traps, but these must wait until I get in the ring.

HAVANA TJistinctivQ mend CASTLE SIZE THEY ARE PACKED 100 II Fve said that Willard's Saturday and Sunday workouts astonished the crowd. For weeks Jess hasn't shown and Sunday workouts astonished the much speed, and hasn't extended himself except in a few rounds with Heinen, whom he hit so hard that the big fellow from Chicago went home and was glad to get there with his head still on his shoulders. Willard has loafed.

He has tapped and lapped and has given his men as much of a rest as he could. Saturday he took off the wraps, rerhaps he was stung by some of the criticism directed at him. and determined that It was time to show his real form, So he came out with Hempel. for three rounds, had Hem-pel fight as aggressively as ho could and cut loose with fast left hanlors and stinging rights that drove Hem. rl all over the ring, and now and then sent him toppling to th floor.

Hempel is game. He tried his best. So, too. did Monahan and Monahan is a fast big fellow in spite of his gray hair. Monohan ut loos- and slammed at Willard with everything he knew how to deliver and Willard ducked and dodged with unaccustomed speed and crackel Monahan with the same fast driven blows lie used In the Miramar at Havana.

I 1 noticed that while he landed as he pleased the big fellow always held back just when he saw Monahan wilting. He never quite pressed mat-tars to the limit. He held much In reserve, but It was easy to see that the reserve was there. Willard has rhanged hl atjle of It'm true kr lant up on hl toes all he time as he was at Havana. He la almot flatfoted.

Insteat of standing erect, ho squats no that ho looks more Ilka a man 6 feet tall than a man 6 feet 7. The squatting position at times makes him rodve awkwardly, but he Is in position to use his long arms to the greatest advantage in hitting. He still ntands 'at full height and leans bark to get away from blows. Jack Johnson hl-ways was a flatfooted fighter. Johnson moved around very little, nnd made the other fellow come htm.

Willard studied Johnson's style to beat him at his own game. Now he seems to have adopted It, with varla-' tions of his own. Willard Sartors Slight Cut. Yesterday afternoon the champion added a little more speed, used Hem- up in three rounds, and went through a regular battle with Monahan. In one mlxup Monahan's heal struck him over the left eye.

making a slight cut from which the crimson fluid flowed over his face. The crowd yelled ncouragment to Monahan. Soma even cried to him to knock Wtltard out." And at this Jess stopped to laugh. Monahan wis receiver of many fast jabs and a few short rights that drew the claret from noa and mouth and a sltht cut avsr his left sar. They spongod Willard off during the minute's rest and in the third round he went after Monahan harder than before, crouch- n.

glaring at him fiercely, Hammering htm hard. Monahan was flehtltux his best. On of his right swings eauyht Willard tha mouth, cut-ttn hla Up and drawing blood.
